Abstract
- In this study, we investigated the immune responses against Mycobacterium gordonae in ginbuna crucian carp. Cumulative mortality of ginbuna injected with 2.0 × 107 CFU of M. gordonae was 50% at 170 days post-infection. CD4-1, CD8α, T-bet and IFNγ2 gene expression levels were significantly upregulated in ginbuna injected with 1.9 × 108 CFU of M. gordonae at 21 and 28 days post-infection. The CD4-2 level did not change during the experiment. Granulomatous responses consisted of central macrophage accumulation and surrounding lymphocytes, and Ziehl-Neelsen-positive bacteria were observed in the trunk kidney of the challenged fish. Immunohistochemistry using anti-ginbuna IFNγs and anti-ginbuna CD4-1 polyclonal antibody revealed that the marginal lymphocytes were positive for CD4-1, and the IFNγ-producing cells surrounded the mycobacterial cell-laden phagocytes. These results suggest that CD4-1+ cells and IFNγ2 play important roles in the granulomatous inflammation against Mycobacterial infections in teleosts.
